thanks doug. what i mean is, gui driven products eat up more ram in
virtual systems with little ram like this laptop, only 8 gigs. i like
how you all included all sorts of stuff to tinker/learn from, as well as
put most of the configs in /etc/nsm, gyah!!! i really like that. 

ill read how to turn off some services, after i find which ones are
starting from /etc/init.d/ so forth,, 

thanks for you input. l8

im looking at vbox guest iso of seconion, seems pretty bloated,

I disagree with the term "bloated", but we do run other processes in
addition to Snort which can be disabled if so desired.

slow even set with 3.5 gigs of mem on the host dedicated to it.

3.5GB RAM should be sufficient for a demo VM.  If you'd like to
discuss further, we can help you diagnose why it seems slow if you
send a detailed email to one of our mailing lists:
